Today, the White House released a full budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2018, an expanded version of the Administration's "skinny budget," which was released earlier this year.

The Administration's full budget proposal provides the funds necessary to shut down the Corporation for National and Community Service over the course of the next year. If enacted, this budget would eliminate federal support for national service programs and have a devastating impact on the communities they serve every day.

What we also must note is the three special elections in Montana, North Carolina and Georgia. As we went to press, we saw a new poll that gives the Democratic Aspirant a 7% edge in the run off--this is as we're seeing a close one in Montana--although North Carolina seems to showcase a return of another GOP candidate.

In our quest to bring all views to light, we wanted to report on this we just received from the Bi-Partisan Policy Center that underscores the profound challenges the President's Budget faces as deliberations begin:

BPC Experts Weigh In on Trump Budget

Washington, D.C.– As President Donald Trump unveils his first budget proposal today, calling for a massive shift in government priorities, Bipartisan Policy Center experts weigh in on how the proposal would affect a range of specific policy areas.

"Given how critical the moment is for American innovators, we are disappointed to see the president's budget request suggests drastic cuts to programs with strong track records in job creation, economic growth, and energy security that are critical to capturing future opportunities."

"Policies that provide flexibility to providers to move toward patient-centered care have the potential to improve quality and lower Medicaid costs, without a widespread loss of coverage or reduced access to medical care."

"The FY18 budget will likely not fund the 350-ship Navy that Trump advocated last September while campaigning and cannot accommodate increases in troops for the Army and Marine Corps. It leaves uncertain such items as a new bomber and the future of advanced submarines."
